Some of the active learning techniques are peer review, flipped classrooms,hands-on technology, and cooperative group problem solving. Here is a brief description of thesemethods [10].In “peer review”, students are asked to complete an individual homework assignment or short paper. Onthe day the assignment is due, students submit one copy to the instructor to be graded and one copy totheir partner. Each student then takes their partner's work and, depending on the nature of theassignment, gives critical feedback, and corrects mistakes in content and/or grammar.In the “flipped classroom”, class time is devoted

undergraduate teaching assistantships in the flipped classroom, anenvironment in which TAs take on a more important role than in a traditional classroom. Flippedlearning builds upon active learning, a constructivist approach to learning that emphasizeslearning by doing [18-20]. Active learning is based on the principles that students are activelyresponsible for their own learning within a collaborative process with peers and tutors [21].Flipped learning takes this further by moving the passive and individual-focused parts of STEMlearning – the first introduction to the material – out of the classroom entirely. This frees classtime to be devoted to interactive activities, such as problem-based learning, that reinforce coursematerial without sacrificing

Thus, most of such work has been spearheaded by administrative groups such asdepartments of Diversity and Inclusion and Gender Studies who typically seek to promote equitythrough changes to broader institutional culture [2-4]. Student classroom experiences, however,remain relatively neglected and thus such efforts rarely inspire STEM faculty buy-in.Consequently, students from historically underrepresented groups, especially students perceivedto have lower social capital than their peers, may still face disparities in their classroomexperiences, disparities that may include

We wish to expose our students to engineering problems that will help them relate thematerial taught in class with their own major. The primary enabling technology is statisticalprogramming with Python. The case studies are introduced as group assignments and aremotivated in class or discussion sessions. Students select their own groups and in the end of eachcase study, they do a peer-evaluation in order to assess the degree of in-group collaboration. Inthis way, students build valuable
